New Features in AccessAlly 4.5

Introducing Direct Messages! Now with CommunityAlly, members can enjoy private messaging for one-on-one or group conversations. This new feature enables your members to reach out to each other without needing to share personal details, offering a safer and more connected experience. Here’s how to enable direct messaging.
Your Theme Templates Now Work with CommunityAlly! CommunityAlly Groups are Custom Post Types, allowing each Group to have its own unique styling. Plus, Group icons are easily distinguishable from Offering icons, and finding and managing your Groups has never been easier. Learn more.
Improved Navigation in CommunityAlly Groups! We’ve made significant enhancements to CommunityAlly Groups. You’ll now see a ‘global navigation menu’ where you and your members can easily access Favorited Posts, Messages, Notifications, and their Profile from within any community Group. Additionally, we’ve added a sidebar for secondary navigation tabs. Check it out.
Introducing Flexible Subscription Discounts! Now you can apply unique promo codes for subscriptions—offer one discount for the first payment and a different one for recurring payments. Create enticing deals effortlessly! Here’s how to set it up.
(4.5.1) AccessAlly Managed now offers greater flexibility with a major update: you can run custom operations upon module release. This unlocks powerful automation possibilities, such as “auto-revoke access after 12 months,” making Offerings even more versatile. Learn more here.
